  1. $999$ bytes have been successfully received
  2. $1000$ bytes have been successfully received
  3. $1001$ bytes have been successfully received
  4. None of the above

as initial sequence number is random number.

we can't tell what is the ACK 1000 in TCP , as it depends on initial random sequence number.

so answer is none of the above

Since intial sequence number is not given that's why we can say that option-D will be right option for it.Now in the absence of inialt sequence number it can be any random number becz of the rule of TCP.

If ISN = 1, then ACK number = 1000 would mean 999 bytes delivered.

If ISN = 0, then ACK number = 1000 would mean 1000 bytes delivered.

Option C is never possible because ISN can't be negative.

 

ACK number x simply means that the receiver now expects the xth byte.

Total delivered bytes OF A SESSION would be calculated by subtracting ISN from the ACK number. (New Session = New ISN)

Option D is correct.
